Time to clean up. Harmonix wants to know what songs should be in the game.
Cookie to the first person that can find the Guitar Hero 1/2 threads we had going with all the suggested songs we wanted in those games.
Dude looks like a Lady.
How about:
Sound Garden: Black Hole Sun
Indigo Girls: Go
Mansun: Shotgun
Muse: Plug-in Baby
Paul McCartney: No Values
Stereophonics: Local Boy in the photograph
The Ataris: The summer wind was always our song
Wheatus: Teenage Dirtbag
At the drive in: Chanbara
I know they're a bit random, but i figured they'd be fun to play as a group rather than having one part outshine the rest.
Tenacious D's "f*ck her Gently" is boring to play. If anything, they should include "Master Exploder" or maybe the Beelzeboss tune. A lot of "popular" songs are pretty boring.
They should add some Steve Vai fo' sho. And goddamn it, how about some Metallica finally.
Here's a few of mine. I'll come back with some more later.
Any Way You Want It by Journey
Purple Haze by Hendrix
Fall to Pieces by Velvet Revolver
The Distance by Cake
Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam
Hold Me Down by The Gin Blossoms
Day Tripper by The Beatles
Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton
Pinball Wizard by The Who
Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots
Shine by Collective Soul
Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet
Last Night by The Strokes
Hard To Handle by The Black Crowes
Run-Around by Blues Traveler (they need to make a harmonica peripheral for this one)
They are also missing Santana, BB King, Yes (were they in Guitar Hero 2?), and the white Stripes... Man, I gotta make a list before I submit.
Hell, even Lenny Kravitz's "Are you gonna go my way", we know he loves to whore it for games...
Anyone know why Hendrix's Spanish Castle Magic wasn't complete in the first game? Didn't even have a singer...
When i die, i'm going to leave it in my will that my estate won't get control of my IP. I'll tell them that they can make their own money and release my IP into the ether of free-use.
I vote Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Dust Bunny Ride On
Would make a nice japanese counterpoint to the Pillows
More good ol' punk! I know a lot of it isn't hard on the guitar, but I really loved Rancid on GH2, and I will pay with my own blood for a chance at Mike Ness or Social D on my 360 (+ surround sound).
Also: Descendents -- Coffee Mug
Peanuts - The Police
Walk This Way - Aerosmith & Run DMC
Just a Girl - No Doubt
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Won't Back Down - Tom Petty
Dope Nose - Weezer
Cannonball - Breeders
I was wondering - i'll put it here rather than starting its own thread and i couldn't find a Guitar hero catch all using the search - which is better for general rockiness, GH 1 or 2. The reason being is that i'm going to buy a copy on the PS2 for my mum and her partner, both have wanted to play guitar for a long time and even bought each other guitars but are probably never going to learn.
My mum likes metal like Black sabbath and judas priest and her partner is just more of a general rock person.
Thanks to anyone who replies.

Guitar Hero 1, it has the far better tracklist.
I doubt they'd go all the way to Expert, where the easier hammer-ons of GH2 are essential. GH1 has Iron Man, Judas Priest, and a lot of other great stuff. GH2 has War Pigs, tho.
Buy both, maybe?
I'd go with GH1 as well, the tracklist is just...better, and has more metal. If they like it you can then tempt them with the multiplayer in GH2 so they can play together. That's when you'll know you've got them.
Thanks, guys! I appreciate your feedback!
Sleep Now In The Fire - Rage Against The Machine
The Day I Tried to Live - Soundgarden
Go With The Flow - Queens of the Stone Age

The Hendrix estate wouldn't let them.
Well they better knock that crap off, because there's only one correct answer to the "song that needs to be in GH/RB":
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Must buy 360 or PS3 to be able to play this game.....
*Drools*
I have a feeling no one will want to sing in four player mode. I'd like to call dibs on drums.

Seconded, and
"To clear away the haze!"

That's what you think - in reality, I can't wait to inflict my singing upon an unprepared Goodj public. Mwahahah!
(this morning I was singing "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher as I got ready)
I call lead guitar, no backsies. Also, I'd like to nominate Edwin to be like the guy from Mighty Mighty Bosstones who doesn't sing or play an instrument, but just jumps around the stage in a plaid suit. Plaid Suit Hero.
I voted for Mount Rockmore by The Bags. I thought about doing Last by NIN though.
Also some Paranoid Sabbath is awesome, but I'd really like to have seen Hand of Doom. Oh well, the whole album is pretty great anyway (and someone is obviously a fan, since Iron Man and War Pigs have already appeared in Harmonix games).
Hm, it's nice to add features and all, the stuff they are talking about for the guitar sounds more like a ploy to force players to buy their periphreal rather than anything to really improve gameplay.

Hmmm... I'd sing but I'd not sound much better than a wet cat.
I'll sing as soon as they add Crash Test Dummies to the set list.

Low droning voice Superman Song Dummies or high pitched falsetto voice Give Yourself a Hand Dummies?

Aw hell naw, I'll have to challenge your spot for lead guitar. A guitar duel, much like that movie Crossroads with the Karate Kid has to ensue.
